Science can be a tricky subject for kids and this children's book truly gets a fresh perspective on it through a child's eyes. Full of fun facts about the world of science, it's the perfect book for kids who dream up infinite why's about the world around them.

This is such a great book for kids (and adults) who have lots of science-related questions. Our 8-year-old loves reading non-fiction books and this was the perfect fit for him.

The questions were asked and answered in a super accessible way and the graphics and illustrations added so much to the informative pages. He enjoyed reading this and we have many fun discussions on these topics after reading them.

I highly suggest this for kids ages 6-10 who are looking to learn more about science and have fun while doing it. A big thank you to NetGalley and DK Children for gifting me a copy of this book. All opinion are my own. ( )

“Ask A Scientist” focuses squarely on kids- what they want to know and how best to give them the information. It seems the writers did their research in choosing the questions as most of them rang familiar. The questions range enough in topic that kids will find a lot to interest them.

The book’s format lends itself to continual engagement. Illustrations blend together while not overwhelming the reader. They do an excellent job of illuminating the text. The book ends with a useful glossary and the answers to two questions I’ve been asked over and over about time and boredom, and I still wonder about today.

The greatest aspect of this book is how the professor underscores the flexibility of science, and how not knowing strengthens its foundations. He emphasizes how scientists move toward an answer from questions. By creating the book from questions, he shows his young readers how science naturally progresses and by asking questions they are young scientists themselves. ( )
